How do I remove highlighting from a style?
Hi
I accidently used highlighting on a heading style and now all those heading styles are highlighted. I can't seem to remove the highlighting from the Format Styles area. I don't see where it's set in format paragraph or borders, because I applied the highlighting from the toolbar. Thanks for your help! Rosy |

How do I remove highlighting from a style?
Use Find and Replace:
1. Click more to expand the dialog. 2. With the insertion point in the "Find what" box (which you will leave blank), click Format: Highlight. 3. With the insertion point in the "Replace with" box (also blank), click Format: Highlight *twice* to get Format: Not Highlight. 4. Replace All. -- Suzanne S.

How do I remove highlighting from a style?
Thanks, but that doesn't work. Even though I see the highlighting, the Find
tool doesn't find it. I think the problem has to do with the fact that highlighting is part of a character style and this is a paragraph style. Any ideas? "Suzanne S.

How do I remove highlighting from a style?
Highlighting is not one of the properties that can be associated with a
style. Almost certainly what you are seeing is text shading. If the "highlighting" is applied by a character style, why not search for and remove that style? -- Suzanne S.
